2008 is Liverpool's coveted and most prestigious Capital of Culture Year, offering to be a profusion of unmissable events. Along with our abundance of museums and galleries, including the new International Slavery Museum, 2008 promises to be a spectacular and eclectic succession of exhibitions and events from the world of art, cinema, theatre and music. Liverpool is famed for its waterfront which is now a hub of fashionable eateries, shops and wine bars in the Albert Dock, also home to the Tate Gallery and Beatles Museum, not forgetting the famous Mersey Ferries. In the southern corner of the city centre you will find the distinctive Metropolitan Cathedral and the neo-gothic architecture of the Anglican Cathedral. It is here that the Georgian Quarter of the city is located, boasting ostensibily the greatest number of georgian buildings outside of London.

Away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre you will find a variety of other places of interest, including Croxteth Hall, farm and Country Park, the magnificent Tudor Speke Hall, our Football Stadia, the Echo Arena along with arty Lark Lane, located just a short walk from the Park Lane Hotel. Liverpool is also close to North Wales and historic Chester and the breathtaking Lake District. Whatever you want to do, Liverpool has it all to offer.
